Benchstones

Benchstones are the most common way of sharpening a knife. Here at Knife Center, we carry a great variety of benchstones, including the natural Arkansas Stones. We also carry bases to hold your benchstones.

Waterstones are naturally occurring sharpening stones from Japan. Because of the unique geology of Japan, these stones are softer than most benchstones, leading to a stone which can, and should, be lubricated with only water.

Diamonds are famous for being the hardest naturally occurring material on earth. These diamond benchstones, from Diamond Machining Technology and EZE Lap, allow you to use that hardness to sharpen your knives.

The best edge is achieved by progressively increasing the grit of the stone, moving from course through fine. Tri-hone systems put a course, medium, and fine stone on the same device, allowing you to quickly move through all three stages.

Just because you are on the go doesn't mean you have to live with a dull knife. These pocket sharpeners come in the same variety of materials as the larger benchstones, but are sized to fit in your pocket.

Other Sharpeners

Traditional benchstones require a blade be held at an angle by hand as it is sharpened. Clamping systems hold the knife, ensuring a constant angle. This gives the knife a more consistent edge. We also carry the hones for GATCO & Lansky systems.

Pull sharpeners take the guesswork out of sharpening knives. No trying to hold the knife at specific angles -- just pull it through the sharpener. Our large selection of Pull Sharpeners include the stylish Messermeister Chantry Sharpeners.

Formerly known as Charlie's Wheel of Fortune, this kit includes a grinding wheel & a buffing wheel. Used properly, it quickly puts an edge on your knife. It is easy to over sharpen your knife on this wheel.

Specific Blade Sharpeners

This electric scissors sharpener takes all of the guesswork out of sharpening scissors. You don't even need to take the scissors apart, you just pull the scissors to their fully opened position and run them through.

Sharpening steels are not typically used for sharpening, but rather are used immediately after to hone the knife, smoothing any imperfections from the sharpening. We carry a variety of sharpening steels, including Diamond Coated Steels.

Straight edge razors need to be kept sharp to work properly. Strops help you take care of your straight edge razor. They're also used to hone knives. We also have sharpening instructions from DOVO, who manufactures most of our straight razors.
